Thoracic surgeon Daniela Molena leads clinical trials to improve outcomes for people with esophageal cancers.
At any time Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is conducting hundreds of clinical trials to improve care for many types of cancer. Use the tool below to browse our clinical trials that are currently enrolling new patients. Each listing explains the purpose of the trial, the trial’s eligibility criteria, and how to get more information.
The list below includes clinical trials for adult cancers. Please visit our pediatric cancer care section to find a pediatric clinical trial.
Sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia are blood diseases caused by a genetic change (mutation) in hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. People with these diseases may be offered a stem cell transplant. Stem cell transplantation involves receiving healthy blood-forming cells (stem cells) from a donor to replace the diseased or damaged cells in the bone marrow.
Researchers in this study want to find the best dose of lurbinectedin to treat cancer in children and adults. They also want to see how well this drug works. The people in this study have Ewing sarcoma or other solid tumors that keep growing after treatment. In addition, their cancers contain a genetic change called a FET fusion.
The transplantation of stem cells from umbilical cord blood is a treatment for some blood cancers and non-cancerous blood or metabolic disorders. Patients routinely receive high doses of chemotherapy and sometimes radiation before receiving the stem cells to help make room in the bone marrow for new blood stem cells to grow, prevent the body from rejecting the transplanted cells, and help kill any abnormal blood cells in the body. However, the combination of these treatments can have serious side effects.
In this study, researchers want to see if adding stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to standard drug therapy is effective for people with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive HER2-positive oligometastatic breast cancer that has gotten worse at one metastatic site despite medical treatment. Oligometastatic breast cancer is cancer that has spread to a small number of parts of the body. SBRT delivers extremely precise, very intense doses of radiation to cancer cells.
Researchers are finding the best dose of CUSP06 to use in people with advanced ovarian or endometrial cancer. The people in this study have cancer that came back or keeps growing after treatment.
Researchers are assessing the cellular therapy lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) in people with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). The people in this study have PCNSL that has not yet been treated. In addition, they cannot have autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). During ASCT, a patient's healthy, blood-forming cells are collected before treatment, stored, and returned after treatment with very strong chemotherapy.
Multiple myeloma that keeps growing after treatment can cause cancer cells to build up inside the bones. The cancer cells crowd out healthy blood cells and make abnormal proteins that cause discomfort. Researchers in this study want to find the best dose of KTX-1001 to treat multiple myeloma that grows after treatment.

Researchers are assessing how well erdafitinib works to treat gliomas that keep growing after treatment. The people in this study have glioma with a normal IDH gene and a fusion of two other genes (FGFR-TACC).
Limited metastatic colorectal cancer is cancer that has spread to no more than 4 parts of the body. The usual treatment for limited metastatic colorectal cancer is chemotherapy. In this study, researchers want to see if adding local therapies makes treatment work better. Local therapies are used to treat cancer only at specific sites.
